Trading Places - A Tale of Two Decks

Winter took it's best shot and won.

But instead of bowing our heads and giving in,

we packed up our bags and went elsewhere.

Take that, Mr. Winter.

Note: It's been years since Mary and I have gotten away together for more than a weekend on anything other than a family visit. You know, a real vacation. This was a trip with great friends and perfectly timed to escape winter's last blast; a week on the small Puerto Rican island of Culebra. Not a fishing excursion, although a fly rod somehow found its way into the duffle. Yes, I'm incorrigible. But if you're looking for fishing, you'll have to wait just a bit. The few posts that follow are simply travelogue. Hope you enjoy them just the same.

Actually, Rich, we were gone for the worst of it. Jumping on a plane between the deep stuff and ensuing arrival of the ice and rain. Arrived home last week in synch with the onset of our current delightful weather.

Worth Your Time

The Flyfish Journal:Bahamacon 2017A fantastic week in images from South Andros with the TFFJ crew. Be sure to watch the video at the end, if for nothing more than the island music.

The true worth of fishing, as the experienced, sophisticated angler comes to realize, lies in the memorable contacts with people and other living creatures, scenes and places, and the living waters great and small which it provides.
